Lovely
...I do not understand what has happened today, something has changed and i can`t put my finger on it...When i have fell back to alcohol in the past, i wake up so full of remorse and shame that the condemnation from the devil has had me laid up in bed for at least 5 days, my energy is normally flat, and i spend my days in Psalms crying to God for the hurt of my disobedience towards Him...But today has been so different, He has given me energy to get through the day, i had my bath, made lunch, been on this thread which has been full of the Holy Spirit and pure Joy
...I have napped, woke up and ready for dinner, i have not been listening to the evil one, instead i have been reading out Scripture of who i am in Christ, i have no guilt or shame on me as i type, i think it may be because i have trusted in the Lord today instead of looking at my sin...And i must say a big shout out to ALL those people today on the thread that let me bring my sin in here, people have helped me so much, your support has reached me with love...\o/ Praise God...Love you all...xox...
I am so glad and pleased that you felt you could share what you have here today and yesterday.
We are all here for each other, to encourage, build up in love.
As you know and have said to you I see so much in you that God is doing.
I truly see God working in you and the desire in you to be conformed to the image of Jesus. That he will work with.
You are kind, you are gentle and you are loving.
Focus on Jesus and give it all up to him.
I honestly believe that he is going to use you.
Think about it in this way. If as believers who come to him as we are with all our problems and he was then to suddenly take them all away what use would be to others who are struggling with what we struggled with?
You said you has a few glasses of wine then poured the rest away rather than drink the whole bottle.
Thats a step forward, little steps at a time.
Thank God for this.
I would encourage you to seek God as to why you opened the bottle.
My problem as severe gambling, even though I hated it I would find myself doing it. Even at times i didn't know I was doing it.
I won big and lost big. When I won big I was just as gutted when I lost big.
Came to realise the issue wasn't gambling the issue was why I gambled.
I won't go into it here but one thing I want to leave you with.
Do you know that God loves you as much as he loves Jesus?
Yes he does.
God bless you precious sister a beautiful daughter of the Father.
